National Football League

NFL

Every franchise, every season back to 1920, and one rating that runs the whole way through, so a 1925 team and a 2026 team are measured the same way.

What the table says, and what the model says. The gap between them is the story.

How this is measured
Standings are the record: live from ESPN, refreshed hourly, with our own simulation of the rest of the schedule attached as playoff and title odds. The Elo board is the rating, which moves on margin and on who the result came against rather than on wins alone. A team high in one and low in the other is either being carried by its schedule or being wasted by it, and that is usually the most interesting team in the league.

The greatest games

Ranked by Game Score, which nobody voted on.

How this is measured
Game Score is built from the two ratings going in, how close the result was, what was at stake and how far the winner was from being favourite, so a tight upset in a Super Bowl scores above a blowout in week 3 without anyone deciding it should.

Where these numbers come from

Enough to disbelieve this page on purpose rather than by accident.

Franchise records, championships, stadiums and awards come from this site’s own NFL workbook, curated by hand over many years. Ratings are Neil Paine’s NFL Elo carried in the same workbook: 48,636 team-weeks from 1920 to 2026, one rating and one league rank on every week.

Current standings are live from ESPN’s public feed and refresh hourly; everything else refreshes when the workbook does, last on 2026-09-06. Full method on the methodology page.
